Letter to CMS on Medicare Coverage Restrictions for Therapeutic CGMs

November 06, 2019

To: Tamara Syrek Jensen Director, Coverage and Analysis Group, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

"Our organizations support the adoption of appropriate Medicare coverage of therapeutic CGM systems for patients with diabetes, as indicated in our respective clinical practice guidelines and recommendations. Each organization developed these guidelines and recommendations through analysis of published scientific and clinical evidence, as well as the input and advice of our members. This evidence has repeatedly demonstrated that CGM systems can help certain patients improve their glucose control by providing actionable data to adjust insulin to keep blood sugar in range."
